10 Anatomy Related Gifts to Give this Holiday Season

I know that we’re in the midst of the holiday season, but if you’re struggling trying to find some unique gifts for your friends, family, or radiologist, browse through the anatomy related gifts below.  I’ve only selected the most well designed/illustrated/crafted products out of all the anatomical stuff out there.  And if my friends/co-workers are reading this…hint hint.

 

1.  X-Ray: See Through the World Around You

Nick Veasey X-Ray: See through the world around you

Gorgeous book by award-winning photographer, Nick Veasey.

Using security scanners and x-ray machines, Nick Veasey creates beautiful, unsettling, inside-out images that reveal—like never before—the intricacy of everyday objects, animals, and plants. Whether the spectacle of an x-rayed Boeing 777, the elaborate geometry of an mp3 player’s circuit boards, or the ethereal grace of a translucent daffodil, each page of this book is an absorbing work of art.
